Breaking Down JK Rowling's Transphobia from a Geek Culture Perspective with Jessie Gender

Jessie Earl (@jessiegender) of the Jessie Gender YouTube channel joins Alice and Martha to analyze JK Rowling's transphobic views through a geek culture lens and discuss ways fans can distance themselves from these harmful ideologies without fully losing Harry Potter. Jessie, Martha and (sort of) Alice also talk Star Trek, including a mini Sorting hat and a recasting of the Hogwarts professors.

For more information on the main topics discussed in this episode, please check out Jessie Gender's videos "Breaking down JK Rowling’s Transphobic Essay" and "JK Rowling Transphobia Explained." Jessie also recommends Vox's article "The Rise of Anti-Trans 'Radical' Feminists, Explained" for more information on TERF ideology.
